New Balance Men's M992 Running Shoe Reviews

• As advertised

  
  By ACTJ6XKKGKJXN on 2006-11-10
  I've never spent this much for shoes before but have been pleasently pleased with these. The bottoms of my feet were hurting after runs with my old shoes so I invested in these. I only run apx 10-12 miles a week but can tell a big difference. No pain. Money well spent in my opinion. Oh yea, and I LIKE the conservative grey shoes!

  I've had these running shoes awhile now and after a lot of wear, they are still in grear shape.
  
  They arre very, very comfortable.
  
  In the summer I don't feel that my feet get overheated. And I wear them hiking in winter time too.
  
  I highly recommend these shoes.
  
  

• From 991 to 992

  
  By A3EVNRB3KZXLZH on 2007-02-04
  The 992 is probably the shoe with the most comfort and support. If you are buying a 992 because you can no longer find the 991, you will have to shave off at least a half size. The 992 is wider at the toe, so you do not need the extra space. I ordered my usual size for a 991, but it was like a boat, so I sent it back for a half size smaller. I could "maybe" go with a full size smaller, but I am not certain. Beyond that, it is as fine a shoe as the 991.

  I ran in the 990,991 and now the 992. Same shoe just a little bit better. Only shoe I will trust as I get older a little slower and heavier. NB sent the wrong size and when I returned them they sent out my EE within a week. Great company and a great shoe.

  These shoes are initially very comfortable. Within a very short time, however, they are very hot. Unless you like running/walking outdoors in frigid conditions these might not be for you.

• nice shoe for running
  By A2P4VNCDBY4FDM on 2007-03-23
  this is a very comfortable shoe. very light! it feels like you are only wearing socks. make sure you order the proper width because this shoe tends to be on the narrow side.
  
  
• Simply the best
  By A1B7VWJNVFSI9W on 2007-05-14
  The best walking / running choose I ever had. I started wearing the NB 990 many years ago and now on their third generation it just gets incrementally better. Soft, confortable, arch support.
  
  
• The best on earth for narrow feet
  By A2GFF34UP8WJ3N on 2007-12-27
  It's a crime that so few shoes are made for people with narrow feet. Some major manufacturers carry nothing but "medium" and occasional extra-wide widths. From the 1970s, New Balance company has made a point of offering various width shoes -- though not in all models. These M992 shoes are the latest iteration of a model they've produced for years, and if you've got narrow feet they may be the only shoes on earth (other than certain hiking and work boots) that truly fit.
  
  
  
  
• Best Overall shoe's I've ever worn
  By A2W9Z335A55JT9 on 2008-01-03
  I am on my 2nd pair of 992's after owning 3 pairs of the previous model the 991. These shoes are fantastic whether I am running on a treadmill or out about town. They are very versatile with their conservative styling that make them look like a fashion sneaker as well as have the function of a running sneaker at the gym. Overall I have been very satisfied and will be buying more - WELL WORTH THE PRICE!
  
  
• Mens New balance 992
  By A1BS6FU726USG9 on 2008-01-12
  Only running shoe still made in america, the 992 and 1223 series from new balance.
  especially made for people with flat feet.
  You will know this if you run or jog and you tend to land on the outside of your foot and roll inwards towards the arch.
  very comfortable also jsut wear around the house and office.
  
  
• Heavy Weight of Running Shoes
  By A14FBWC1SR0M00 on 2008-04-05
  This is the standard for all those who have running problems such as pronation, wide feet, and over 190 pounds. Designed to prevent injury. Heavy and solid in construction, not designed for the sprinter, more like the linebacker who runs. Good for around running 220 miles. Maintains heel, ankle, knee, hip alignment with heel shank. Not a trail shoe.
  
  
• Very comfortable...
  By A2JEI6O3BQI6W2 on 2007-06-06
  I use these shoes for running on treadmill and outside and I find them very comfortable.

  The shoes are great. I run three miles a day and started running in these the day I got them without any issues.
  
  
• 992's are great
  By AKZYB5NXRCO7K on 2007-08-11
  If you need wide size shoes, you will be very happy with NB. Very satisfied with the shoes.
  
  
• Most Comfortable Shoes I Have Owned
  By A2WVNYTDIA6FYZ on 2008-02-15
  I previously had 4 pairs of the 991s. Now that they are discontinued, I have moved to the 992. This shoe is the most comfortable shoe that I have ever owned. My work requires that I stand on my feet for 12 hours a day on concrete flooring. These shoes remain comfortable, reduce back and leg pain and wear very well. I only use them for walking and standing. Great shoe and I will always buy these shoes for comfort. They are well worth the price.
  
  
• New Balance 992GL
  By A2XG25PHLW7DVP on 2008-04-01
  A great shoe for me. I have been troubled with heel spurs, but with this shoe and a little stretching I'm okay.
  
  
• Quality comfortable running shoe
  By A2TN18YEM11YOC on 2008-05-02
  This is my second purchase of this series of shoe (previously, the 991's). I like the fact it is made in the USA and seems to be good quality.
  
  Although these are expensive shoes, my last pair lasted 4-5 years and that is my expectation with these. Most of the cheaper shoes ($50-$79) are marketed for "6 months" before they end up in a landfill.
  
  These shoes have good cushion, and are comfortable.
  
  
• Most comfortable running shoe ever
  By A3BV5DVTFUZEMG on 2008-06-24
  Ive owned 8 pairs of these since the 990's. It's quite simply the best running shoe ever produced. The durability absolutely blows though. They wear down so quick at the end of the line I always swear to myself no more. So I try another brand I read is good. Three weeks later I try on a pair of 992s, roll my eyes, and think they got me again. I get the gray ones and I think it also looks the best out of all the shoes too. Its a classic.
  Durability: 3-4 Everything Else:10 Worth every penny.
  
  
• Excellent USA Made Running Shoes
  By ALRXUQFOOC8CB on 2008-08-02
  This is one of the best running shoes I have ever purchased. The cushioning and quality of construction is exceptional. The price was $30 below what a sporting goods store charged for the same item on sale at the store. You can still buy quality USA Made products if you look hard enough.
  
  
• NB992
  By A1O83UODMLU43C on 2007-06-08
  I've been running with NB for many years because it is the only running shoe that makes a 9AA. It performs well as advertised.
  
  
• New Balance M992
  By ALKSQJZ8HY6KA on 2007-07-30
  I initially started with the M2000. The NB website stated best comfort, best support...etc so I went for it. When I tried running with it I felt a lot of vibration and shock, so I wrote to NB to enquire why? My weight at that point was about 78kg.
  
  NB told me maybe my weight is too light for the shoe and suggested that I go for the 991 instead, which I found to be a lot more comfortable. Now a few years later the 991 is worn and falling apart, time for a replacement.
  
  I found the 992 cushioning hard, like the 2000 (then maybe its not run-in yet), other than that build quality is good. Just wondering whether I should have spent a bit more to go for a MBT instead...
  
  
• The beste tennis
  By A1W00LKE1HE9WC on 2007-10-10
  I've been wearing NB for 10 years and for me its the best we can buy.
  
  I also have Nike Shox but I don't recomend if you are looking to pratice sports.
  
  
• Good Shoe For Veteran Runner
  By A2SQ3OGD2RLJS on 2007-10-18
  This is a good shoe for a veteran runner. The runners that buy this shoe are mostly return customers.
  
  I have had a really bad experience in a New Balance Store. The owner of the store told me that he was not associated with New Balance. I am not sure how that could be true.
  
  
• The best there is
  By A1BCGHXOO3ZJBB on 2007-12-18
  The New Balance Men's m992 are the best running/walking sneakers. Comfortable like a glove. Worth every penny.
  
  
• Men's 992
  By A2HBKRL1V5LNQW on 2007-12-31
  My husband loves these shoes. He used to wear the 991 but they quit making them. He really likes the 992 now. And the fact that they are made in the USA makes it really worth the money. They last a long time.

• Great Shoes
  By AJL6X17Q71DPO on 2008-02-15
  These shoes are great for walking or running. They hold to the same high standard New Balance is noted for. No buyers remorse here!
  
  
• Great service-love the shoes
  By A1HHP79IT5R5WH on 2008-03-05
  I just puchased the New Balance 992's on Amazon. I had been using the former model 990 for many years. The puchase was smooth, the delivery as promised and most important- I love the shoes and will stick with this model for a long time. Good job Amazon (as usual).
